The Department of Health has numerous tables of health related data. Which strategic health authority has figures closest to the mean in terms of percentage of patients who spent less than 4 hours in A&E? (Do not include walk-in centres, but use data for types 1, 2 and 3.)

A) Yorkshire and the Humber

Question 2

Quantitative research involves the use of which of the following?&#10;A) Language&#10;B) Letters&#10;C) Numbers&#10;D) Description

Accepted Answer

Quantitative research involves the collection and analysis of numerical data, such as statistics, to uncover patterns and relationships. This is in contrast to qualitative research, which focuses on understanding subjective experiences and meaning-making through words and descriptions.

Question 3

What does the data in the chart demonstrate?  &#10;A) The incidence of cancer is highest among women aged 55-59.&#10;B) The incidence of childhood cancer is highest in girls.&#10;C) Cancer affects everyone.&#10;D) A higher incidence of cancer occurs in men across most age groups.

Accepted Answer

The chart shows that the incidence of cancer is generally higher in men across most age groups, except for ages 0-14 where rates are higher in females. Therefore, option D is the correct choice. Options A and B cannot be inferred from the chart, and while option C is true, it is not specific to the data presented in the chart.

Question 4

The research process is comprised of five stages. Which of the following is not one of those stages?&#10;A) Data collection&#10;B) Generate theory&#10;C) Analysis&#10;D) Dispersion

Using the data obtained for 2007-2008 January to March (Q4) relating to attendance at A&E departments (see appendix 1), what is the mode?

A) 96.75%
B) 97.75%
C) 97.7%
D) 97.8%

Accepted Answer

To find the mode, we need to look for the value that appears most frequently in the data set. In this case, we need to look at column H, which represents the percentage of patients that spend four hours or less in A&E. We can see that the value of 97.7% appears most frequently, with a frequency of 5. Therefore, the mode is 97.7%.
